The UK decided today to give the company a limited role in the construction, despite concerns of national security from the US.
Brian insisted that the UK needs to calm down over national security concerns as we have no evidence the Chinese company could hack and leak data to the Chinese authorities.
"Now we've done our Brexit this is the latest bit of jingoism that everybody wants to get involved in," he said.
"I work around telecomms and can basically tell you the core network is the bit that processes data. They're not involved in the core network. So it's the same as putting a telephone system in your office and they were providing the wiring. Nobody would be upset about that and suggesting that a piece of copper wire could be tapped."
Brian said, "The country needs another foreign enemy to pick on and this is what happens to be around at the time."
